Empowering women in Africa’s mining industry! Discover the thoughts of Carla Clamp of BDO South Africa as she examines the challenges holding women back in the continent’s mining industry and why it is imperative to identify and remove such barriers. “There is a whole lot of untapped potential in women that could be miners that is currently not being assessed or utilised. Given the opportunity, these women could make a huge difference in the industry and can join the ranks of the several women change-makers that have been in the industry.” A the upcoming Investing in African Mining Indaba conference Clamp advised attendees and participants to keep this vital topic in mind throughout each discussion in this year’s agenda: “It is imperative that we maintain the focus of removing the barriers that keep women from shining and reaching their highest potential in an industry that has been historically male-dominated.” Discover the full interview at: https://lnkd.in/eERHV9Hu #MiningIndaba #WomenInMining #WomenEmpowerment #AfricaMining #WomenInBusiness

🌺 To promote greater female representation in the mining industry and foster the career advancement of women, GLY Consulting, led by Pauline Lu, took the initiative to organize and host the "Chinese Women in Mining" online event on March 8th, coinciding with International Women's Day. The event welcomed participants from China, Canada, and Australia. During the event, three distinguished guest speakers shared their valuable perspectives. Mrs. Guixia Ma, Founder and Chairman of Dekuang Jiuding Mining Technology Inc in China, Diana Hu, CEO of Cheetah Chrome Mine in South Africa, and Nancy Liu, Co-Founder and VP Operations of ThreeDify Nancy Liu in Canada, discussed the challenges, opportunities, and success factors for female professionals in the mining industry. They also provided insights into the characteristics of effective women leaders. The discussions spanned various topics, including the career prospects emerging from digital transformation and the applications of artificial intelligence in the mining sector. This event served as a platform to address and explore the multifaceted aspects of women's roles and contributions in the mining field. 🌷 #womeninmining #chineseculture #miningindustry #mining #miningtech #miningengineering #miningexploration #pdac2024 #internationalwomensday2024

As we celebrate the International Day of Women in Mining 2024, let's take a moment to consider the significance of this year's theme, 'I am mining and I belong.' We are excited to spotlight IWiM’s Advisory Council member Allison George, who shared: “When I think of ‘I am mining and I belong’, curiosity, intention, and representation are the three words that spring to mind. For me it is about all of this (we are mining and we belong)—I remain curious and intentional in this space. Mining is an exciting field that takes us on a journey through time—the story prior to extraction, the story of the material that has been extracted, or indeed the stories between human beings in relation to politics, socio-economics, trade, environment, collaboration, and conflict. It is closely interwoven with human history since the dawn of time. This has been my journey through the industry, incorporating many facets and enjoying the opportunity to learn and serve.” What does the #IDWIM2024 theme mean to you? We'd love to hear from you!

The State of Women in Mining: Your Thoughts for 2024? Is the narrative still the same? Are women still leaving the mining industry? We want to hear your insights! This was one of our favourite discussions at Femina Collective in 2023 when we stumbled upon a 2021 McKinsey & Company article that delved into the concerns surrounding women entering and leaving the mining industry. The article examined female representation across crucial dimensions: initial recruitment, medium-term retention, and the promotion of women throughout the organization. ➡ Attracting women to mining ➡ Retaining women in mining ➡ Promoting women in mining into more senior roles The call for action is clear—mining companies need to address all three dimensions to make significant progress. Values of equality and equity showcase the positive impact of diversity on financial and operating performance. Improving women's representation in the mining sector isn't a quick-fix situation. However, by addressing these dimensions, mining companies can pave the way for meaningful progress. Have you been able to read the full article? We'd love to dive into your thoughts! Could you share your takeaways and reflections? Are these insights valid, or have we seen growth and positive changes in the past few years? Let's discuss the state of women in mining as we look ahead to 2024.

CESMECC's Commitment to Elevating Women in Mining At Centre for Sustainable Mining, Environment and Climate Change (CESMECC), we believe in the power of diversity and the essential role women play in the mining sector. As we celebrate International Women in Mining Day, CESMECC realized that only a handful women were featured in various social media platforms yet there are many women in mining who are making remarkable contributions in the industry. We acknowledge that their stories are often underrepresented, and many women working in mining remain unseen and unheard. This has got us thinking deeply. CESMECC is committing to finding ways to elevate women in the mining field, ensuring their voices are heard, their achievements recognized, and their potential realized. CESMECC is committed to championing the interests of women in mining, and we have outlined a robust plan to bring their stories to light, encourage their participation in industry conversations, and inspire future generations of women to pursue careers in mining. CESMECC invites you to join us in this important mission. Follow our social media channels to stay updated on our initiatives, participate in our events, and help us spread the word. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable mining sector where women thrive and lead. Let's champion the interests of women in mining and pave the way for future generations.
